>This kind of framing-inversion might work as a coping mechanism to get you through some dark times as a spergy adolescent. But eventually you have to reconcile yourself to the reality of autism: it really is a neuro-developmental disorder and you actually do have deficits in social understanding, which you might be able to improve with deliberate effort. You have a lot stacked against you, but if you're well into adulthood and still stewing in this self-defeating resentment, that is a moral failing You do realise Neurodivergent people have spent their life trying to make sense of the rest of the world in a way that NTs don't need to. You call it "deficits in social understanding" I call it not understanding why people lie, and not mean what they say. Do you term it "deficits in social understanding" when someone thinks it's wrong to murder people? Do you term it "deficits in social understanding" when you don't understand a Neurodivergent person? You're just equivocating statistical frequency with 'normal' and then with 'correct'. The point of the article is to point out those flawed assumptions. Obviously your 'deficits in social understanding' prevented you from realising that. .... Or is that a moral failing? | ||
